6-1 Husets Results

A wet track and hot weather greeted us for the races, which saw a rough track for the 360 cars all night.  I'd almost rather race on a rubber down track than on something that is as rough as the tracks have been in the area lately.  Once again we started on the front row of both the heat and the feature.....while I'm not complaining at all, it would be more fun to see if we can pass up through the field too.  Last night was one of those nights when you want to start up front though due to the roughness and how heavy the track was for our class.  We won our heat, and were supposed to start in the second row outside position, but the guy starting in front of us went MIA and we got moved up.  Randy Droescher got a good jump on the start and led the first lap or two, but after a red we made a minor change and the car rolled the corner a little better I thought and we ran to the lead pretty quickly and held off the challenges of Brent Vonk on a few restarts.  All in all I thought it was a pretty boring race for everyone....not much passing and not alot of fun when it's like that.

A few thoughts though before I go.  I know this is our website, and it may seem strange, but I'm going to hype a few others now.  I thought Cody Hansen last night looked pretty darn good.  They've got good stuff, and once they hit their stride this year they'll be battling for wins regularly.  Casey Abbas is another that certainly hasn't seen the results they're capable of either.  He's shown he can run up front, and really could have beaten us last Sunday night, but I think it would have taken a move that would have put his car and others in jeopardy so I commend him for showing maturity.  I've been impressed with Brock Dump, Kevin Flowers, and Eric McGillavary as well.  Each of them has shown steady improvement in the last few years and while 2 of the 3 have won a feature this year, I'm sure they'll all be right there in the future.  Chad Meyer has looked pretty darn good this year I think in the 410 class.  It's nice to see him getting back to the form he was in prior to the last year he drove the 1w.  Justin Henderson has shown that being on the road with the World of Outlaws has made him better all around.  He's been fast this year and looks really good.  Some of the guys with the worst luck.....Mark Dobmeier and Johnn Cressman!  Geez, it seems like both of them battle something each week.  When it rains, it pours as they say, and hopefully they'll get the monkey of their backs soon because they both could win races at that place.

That's about it for now, but we'll be in Worthington this Friday and Husets once again for Sunday's show (big thanks to Bernie!).  See everyone at the races!
